HON. BUCK WALTON
waS called upOn,snd responded in g clear
tCrci0le and logical speech. He spoke
plainiV-very plainly, when depicting the
uses and abuses OF whisky, and the part
il plsyed at his home in the capital of the
state. His remarks must nave made the
ears Of the drinking snd gambling
members hot, no matter il they were IN
the bottom of q well in China. Like
General MaXey, he devoted his remarks
to answering the claims OF the other side
and proceeded with as much deliberStion
as though addressing the Supreme court.
He boldly asserted that no man who had
e clear title to law license would deny
that the people in their sovereign capec-
ity had the right legally and ConstitU-
tionally to prohibit the carrying on of
any business injurious to the public,
and that as soon as lawyer
was found who denied this
he had thrown off the ha5iliments
of lawyer, and donned the garb Of q
demagogue. His speech was cool, calm,
dispasionate and logical 1t YVES legal
speech of sledge-hammer force. 1t Was
exhaustive, convincing and strong.
MARION MARTIN.
Hon Marion Martin of COrsicana took
the stand next, and the Swamp Fox
fully sustained his reputation IS public
speaker. Every sun-browned son Of toll
was captivated, and listened with
Wrspt attention. He was cneered
Justify throughout, and mis- speech was
the last speech from that stand.
I. r. BONNER.
While these speeches were going on
the outskirts were enjoying u Iarge-slzed
jubilee of their own. On one side
second rostrum hsd been erected, around
which, perhaps, 1000 people assembled,
when Judge George B, Pickett Of DscA.
tur mounted, and in neat speech intro
duced the old war horse, the Hon.
T. Il. Bonner Of Tyler, who pro-
ceedeG at once to warm up the
tones his determination TO remain in the
Democratic party. He had, ne sYerred,
been in Texas thirty-eignt years and in
the Democratic party every hour OF il.
He had helped pack the mud TO build the
Democracy of Texas and WAS not ready
to be Ousted by Republicans or those
to be Democrats whose politics
were Of genera! utility character. His
speech was full OF sound argument en-
ivened by witty anecdote and Apostle
and he kept his auditors in q
roar from beginning % end, and retired
amid a storm Of cheers.
JUDGE KITTRELL.
Judge Norman Kittrell OF Leon county
Colonel Bonner, and the heart
Of the scribe went cat to the Judge as
soon as he uttered his first sentence. He
is not handsome MANN fact, he might
be called plsin-5ut the way he handles
the English language is something wor-
tertul to listen to. He spoke as one
having authority when to ing Of the re-
ationship of crime 80 fqu5r traffic,
and when he turned g.. u=Ia sex and
strung together pet 'A2rg : on a
golden thread of pure Il. g nee, ne was
appIauded to the echo am ervediy so.
